When it comes to design, there is always something more than what meets the eye. Whether it’s opening up the room or making it feel more intimate, every item has a practical and visual function. It’s proof that when it comes to design, it’s all about the details. Let’s take moulding and trim for example. Practically speaking crown moulding is used to cap a wall, but visually it adds depth and dimension to the space and makes a huge impact.

Play with proportions

Moulding and trim can be used to add dimension, separation, and intimacy to the space. Traditional moulding and trim profiles like crown moulding and baseboards give the wall a visual starting and ending point, which makes the ceiling closer. It also protects the ceiling and floors from damage.

But don’t be afraid to use moulding and trim to divide the space up in interesting ways though. A chair railing on the wall creates a horizontal line. Visually, it separates the top from the bottom and practically, it protects the wall finish from potential furniture damage. Add a skylight feel to your ceiling by using moulding to create different sections.

Add dimension

A more modern way to use moulding and trim is around doors. Using casing around a door adds visual dimension. It creates an almost mysterious and secretive entrance to the space, leaving the person wondering what they’ll find behind the door.

The color of the moulding and trim is also a way to make the space feel different. Painting the moulding the same color as the wall makes the room appear larger. It hides imperfections and gives the room a very polished feel. For a more artistic and defined feel, paint the moulding and trim a bold color. It’s fun way to add a whimsical touch to the room.

Finishing Touch

One of our other favorite ways to use it is on your kitchen cabinets. Though usually forgotten about the edge of your cabinets is the perfect place for showing off that little something extra. To create a clean, finished look opt for a shaker-style trim. A Victorian style gives the kitchen a bit of European flair, while a country style moulding gives the space a homier feel.

Fall has officially arrived…at least according to the calendar and to all those on Instagram touting “Hello, October!”. Since October realy has arrived… um, yesterday… we’ve been thinking of the leaves changing colors, waking up to that crisp mountain air and feeling grateful for the opportunity to have spent so much time in our Aspen office. Even though we no longer call Aspen our “office home”, we are still inspired by the beautiful surroundings and the talented neighbors like architectural firm, . So, as we patiently wait for fall to arrive in Houston, you can find us dreaming about one of the perfectly crisp mountain homes.

September has flown by and we are left with the hope that Fall weather isn’t far behind. What we do have are tons of new collections to fuel our latest obsessions. I love this time of year because inspiration is everywhere! Our favorite vendors are releasing their new Fall collections, new design houses are popping up on our radar and my now twice-yearly trip to High Point Market is coming up. I’d say there are plenty of things to be excited about this upcoming season.

So, even though many collections are still under wraps – the anticipation is killing me! – The Dbh-biz.info Team and I have kept our eyes on the latest and greatest designs and collections over this past month. We’ve got some great finds to share!

August flew by for the Dbh-biz.info team! We’re back in the office today from the unexpected time away due to Hurricane Harvey. Our hearts go out to all the Texans that were affected by the storm. After touching base with all our local clients, we’re thankful to report that everyone is safe and dry. Looking back at August we are all amazed at where we started the month. We kicked off August at the Las Vegas Market – where we found tons inspiration from our favorite showrooms – and made some major progress on a few big projects (including my own home!) To say it’s been an eventful month would be an understatement, right?

What’s one of the easiest and most cost effective ways to instantly “dress up” your powder room? Hint: it’s not a new coat of paint, a monogrammed soap (which I highly recommend), or an added art piece. It’s actually you! Well…sort of. Let’s talk about our obsession with unexpected and chic round mirrors in the bathroom.

At Dbh-biz.info, we design interiors that are both serene and punchy, often they are lovely and quiet but always unexpected.

With all these styles, sizes, shapes and colors there are accent chairs perfect for every space in your home.
